I would imagine the R&D to get a different tranny is already done, they probably tested the 7AT, 6MT, CVT to see how they fit, cost, perform and I bet we will see 6MT and CVT for a low cost car.

The Z, G, M, EX, and FX use the FM platform. And possibly the Titan? Not sure on that one. 20k units doesn't sound too bad imo.
